Ah! Madiba, Yem-Yem ,Vela bembhentsele
An icon of the universe and the pillar of Africa
The freedom fighter and the father of many nations
A peacemaker of our life time
A giant and the hero of struggles
Ah! Madiba, Dlomo thole lesilo-The Father-continent
A blesser of democratic society-the leader
Though the flesh we don’t see, but
The legacy will remain in our inner part
Forward ever with the legacy of Madiba
Backward never with Rolihlahla’s loyalty
Ah! Madiba the Father of the soil
Though you are slumbering, but still talking
Ah!! Yem-Yem! We still hear your voice
